Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA The Hearing of Faith: AKOH ΠІΣΤΕΩΣ in Galatians 3 [Elektronische Daten] [Sam K. Williams] At Gal 3. 2 and 3. 5 the apostle Paul sets ργα νόμου, ‘works of (the) Law', over against κοη πίστεως in two rhetorical questions with which he begins his attack against the position of his nomistic opponents in the Galatian churches. One hopes that this phrase κοη πίστεως was less puzzling to the Galatian Christians than it has been to modern interpreters. The problem of interpretation is compounded by the fact that both words of the phrase can have quite different meanings. 'Ακοή can mean either the faculty or act of hearing or a message or report (that is, what is heard). Πίστις can name either a ‘subjective' human act or attitude or the object of believing (that is, the Christian proclamation). Two important recent studies of Galatians have added their support to the view that by áκοη Paul means not ‘hearing' but ‘proclamation'. In his Galatians commentary Hans Dieter Betz translates άκοη πίστεως as ‘[the] "proclamation of [the] faith”'. In The Faith of Jesus Christ, Richard B. Hays argues at some length that Paul means either ‘the message that evokes faith' or ‘the message of faith (= the gospel-message)'.
